Etymology[edit]
From Middle English Boicote, probably from Old English Bōia cot (“Bōia's cottage”).
The first element was a common Germanic name of obscure meaning, with parallels in Old Norse and Franconian dialects. Some proposed connections include bugan (“bent”), buan (“live”), or the root of modern bully.[1]
